Description
- The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an agglomerated rubber latex and the use thereof for the manufacture of ABS thermoplastic molding compositions or thermoplastic compositions of the ABS type and polymer compositions containing ABS thermoplastic compositions. The agglomerated rubber latices are obtained through agglomeration of fine-particle rubber latices with specific particle diameters.
- ABS molding compositions or molding compositions of the ABS type have for many years been used in large amounts as thermoplastic resins for the production of moldings of all kinds. The spectrum of properties of such resins can be varied within a wide range. Particularly important properties of ABS molding compositions that may be mentioned are impact strength, modulus of elasticity, processability (MVR), dimensional stability under heat, defined combinations of properties generally being of importance depending on the field of use.
- For the production of ABS molding compositions according to the emulsion polymerization process coarse-particle rubber latices are necessary, e.g. butadiene rubber latices which can be produced by different methods.
- For example,
EP 394779 B1 EP 394779 B1 EP 394779 B1 -
WO 01/62812 A1 - In principle, it is also known that coarse-particle rubber latices can be produced by the agglomeration of fine-particle rubber latices.
- For example, the patent specifications
CA958137A ,CA1039439A1 ,DE1804758A1 ,EP0007810A2 ,US3663656A1 ,GB1521805A US3551370A1 ,US3558541A1 ,US3652721A1 ,US3793403A1 ,US3928494A1 ,US3988010A1 , andWO 2008/020012 A2 describe coarse-particle rubber latices and methods for their production by agglomeration of fine-particle rubber latices with acetic anhydride and ABS molding compositions based on these agglomerated rubber latices. Fatty acid emulsifiers which stabilize the fine-particle rubber latices in the alkaline pH-range, are used for the production of the fine-particle rubber latices. Fatty acid emulsifiers may have properties that are disadvantageous in the use for producing graft polymers and thermoplastic molding materials, e.g., of the ABS type, such as, for example, degradation of the base colour and formation of mold deposits during the processing of thermoplastic molding materials by injection molding.WO 00/26298 A1 - From
EP 1414899B1 ABS molding compositions are disclosed which show a improved constancy of properties by use of the combination of two graft rubber polymers. For the production of the graft rubber polymers a butadiene polymer seed latex, a butadiene latex with a defined particles size diameter using the seed latex and an agglomerated butadiene latex with a definded particles size are necessary. This process seems to be very complicated. First of all a seed latex A with a mean particle diameter D50 of 10 to 100 nm has to be produced, second a latex B with a mean particles size D50 of 80 to 220 nm has to be produced by emulsion polymerization using the latex A as seed and third the latex B is agglomerated to produce the latex C with a mean particles size of D50 of 350 to 650 nm. Then the rubber latices B and C are grafted separately with acrylonitrile and styrene to produce two graft rubber polymers. Considering the complexity of these ABS molding compositions the achieved properties are disappointing. - Patent document
US 2003/0139514 A1 describes the manufacture of rubber latices with a weight average particle diameter Dw of at least 85 nm, which are agglomerated to form coarse-particle rubber latices. It is uncertain whether the disclosed agglomerated rubber latices are suitable for the production of ABS molding compositions. In detail, a method for the production of agglomerable rubber latices and their agglomeration is described, in which alkaline salts of fatty acids or rosin acids are used as emulsifiers, and in which the weight average particle diameter of the agglomerable rubber latex is 85 to 200 nm, and wherein the following relation between the amount of decomposed alkaline persulfate, an optional amount of salt, and the particle diameter of the fine-particle rubber latex must apply: - S = salt (in % based on latex solid)
- Do = 85 - 200 nm (weight average of the particle diameter). Specific values of Do are not less than 129 nm. Further investigations showed that K-values outside the claimed range of 2.3 to 6 do not always result in detrimental melt volume rates and/or impact strengths.
- Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the production of coarse-particle rubber latices is limited to the use of fine-particle rubber latices having a particle size of at least 85 nm, which in turn requires the use of a finer-particle seed latex and entails an extended polymerization time.
- The application
US 2009/0076205 A1 describes the production of fine-particle polybutadiene rubber latices which are supposed to be suitable for producing ABS polymers after agglomeration to form polybutadiene particles larger than or equal to 300 nm. In this case, a mixture of potassium oleate and potassium abietate is used as emulsifiers, wherein disadvantageous properties are to be expected on the one hand with regard to the base colour of the ABS polymers because of the use of a fatty acid emulsifier, and wherein, on the other hand, it is very surprising that the potassium salt of the abietic acid, which has conjugated double bonds, should be suitable at all for the emulsion polymerization of butadiene. - It was therefore of particular interest to provide thermoplastic molding compositions from the ABS type which exhibit a good property profile. In particular, products with a high impact strength and good processability should be obtained.
- Surprisingly the object according to the invention could be solved by providing a specific agglomerated rubber latex that can be successfully used to manufacture thermoplastic molding compositions especially from the ABS type which exhibit such a good property profile.
- The agglomerated rubber latices can be specifically used for the manufacture of ABS graft rubber polymeres and molding compositions from the ABS type.
- The agglomerated rubber latices are obtained by emulsion polymerization of the at least one unsaturated monomer in the presence of at least one resin acid-based emulsifier to obtain a starting rubber latex having a weight average particle diameter Dw of less than 120 nm, and wherein the following relation is met:
- W denotes the amount, in parts per one hundred parts by weight (pphr) of latex solids, of decomposed alkalipersulfate,
- S is the amount of an optional salt (in % based on latex solids), or from
- fine-particle rubber latices which are stabilized with resin acids and have a weight average diameter Dw of smaller than 85 nm.
- Thus the present invention provides a process for the preparation of an agglomerated rubber latex, which process comprises the following steps:
- a) emulsion polymerization of the at least one unsaturated monomer in the presence of at least one resin acid-based emulsifier to obtain a starting rubber latex having a weight average particle diameter Dw of equal to or less than 120 nm, and wherein the following relation is met:
- is less than 2.3 nm or more than 6.0 nm, and wherein
- W denotes the amount, in parts per one hundred parts by weight (pphr) of latex solids, of decomposed alkalipersulfate determined by iodometric titration,
- S is the amount of an optional salt (in weight-% based on latex solids),
- b) subjecting said starting rubber latex to agglomeration,
- wherein the content of fatty acids in the resin acid based emulsifier is less than 1 % by weight based on the total weight of the resin acid-based emulsifier.
- In the following such process is occasionally referred to as process I).
- In accordance with the present invention it has been surprisingly found that thermoplastic resin compositions with improved properties can be also obtained by starting from starting rubber latices having a weight average particle diameter Dw of equal to or less than 120 nm setting K to less than 2.3 nm or more than 6.0 nm, subjecting them to agglomeration, forming graft polymers from the agglomerated rubber lattices, and preparing thermoplastic resin compositions therefrom.
- In process I) the parameter K is determined in accordance with
US2003/0139514 . That is, W denotes the amount, in parts per one hundred parts by weight (pphr) of latex solids, of decomposed alkalipersulfate. The amount of persulfate decomposed during the polymerization (W) is determined as the difference between the total amount of persulfate added and the amount of residual persulfate in the latex at the end of polymerization. S is the amount of an optional salt (in % based on latex solids). This amount is determined from the initial weight of these optional salts. With respect to the kind of these optional salts it can be also referred toUS2003/0139514 . - The end of the polymerization of the starting rubber latex is achieved when the temperature is reduced more than 30°C below the maximum temperature during the polymerization, at least below 50°C and in case the monomer conversion is less than 100% the non reacted momomers are removed under vaccum from the latex. The latex solids (in % per weight) are determined by evaporation of a sample at 180°C for 25 min. in a drying cabinet. In a comparable rubber polymerization trial to the starting rubber latex the amount of the residual persulfate was determined for a series of samples by iodometric titration. With the following equations and the known temperature in the rubber polymerization trial the temperature depending decomposition constant kd can be calculated and the constants ko and Ea can be determined:
- With knowledge of the polymerization temperature, the polymerization time and the decomposition constant kd from above (based on the determined constants ko and Ea) the amount of decomposed persulfate can be calculated for the starting rubber latex (see also George Odian, Principles of Polymerization, 4th edition, 2004, p. 211).
- In a preferred embodiment of process I) the weight average particle diameter Dw of the starting rubber latex obtained is equal to or less than 110 nm, more preferably equal to or less than 100 nm and still more preferably equal to or less than 90 nm.
- In a further preferred embodiment of process I) the parameter K is less than 2.3 nm, preferably less than 2 nm, more preferably less than 1.5 nm, still more preferably less than 1.2 nm.
- With respect to the further parameters of steps a) and b) of process I) it can be referred to those of process II) below and the preferred embodiments thereof. If there is no particular reference to any of the processes I) or II) the respective disclosures apply to both processes.
- The present invention further provides a process for the preparation of an agglomerated rubber latex, which process comprises the following steps:
- a) emulsion polymerization of the at least one unsaturated monomer in the presence of at least one resin acid-based emulsifier to obtain a starting rubber latex having a weight average particle diameter Dw of less than 85 nm,
- b) subjecting said starting rubber latex to agglomeration.
- In the following such process is occasionally referred to as process II).
- Process II) is in accordance with process I), that is, parameter K, as defined above, is set to less than 2.3 nm or more than 6.0 nm. With respect to the preferred ranges of K it can be referred to the above indications.
- Preferably in process II) the starting rubber latex has a weight average particle diameter Dw of less than 84 nm and particularly preferably less than 83 nm.
- Preferably the starting rubber latex includes polybutadiene latices produced by emulsion polymerization of butadiene. Up to 50 % by wt. (based on the total amount of monomers used for the production of polybutadiene polymers) of one or more monomers that are copolymerizable with butadiene can be used as comonomers.
- Examples for such monomers include isoprene, chloroprene, acrylonitrile, styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, C1-C4-alkylstyrenes, C1-C8-alkylacrylates, C1-C8-alkylmethacrylates, alkyleneglycol diacrylates, alkylenglycol dimethacrylates, divinylbenzol; preferably, butadiene is used alone or mixed with up to 20% by wt., preferably 15% by wt. styrene and/or acrylonitrile.
- As resin or rosin acid-based emulsifiers, those are being used in particular for the production of the starting rubber latices by emulsion polymerization that contain alkaline salts of the rosin acids. Salts of the resin acids are also known as rosin soaps. Examples include alkaline soaps as sodium or potassium salts from disproportionated and/or dehydrated and/or hydrated and/or partially hydrated gum rosin with a content of dehydroabietic acid of at least 30% by wt. and preferably a content of abietic acid of maximally 1% by wt. Furthermore, alkaline soaps as sodium or potassium salts of tall resins or tall oils can be used with a content of dehydroabietic acid of preferably at least 30% by wt., a content of abietic acid of preferably maximally 1% by wt. and a fatty acid content of preferably less than 1% by wt. Mixtures of the aforementioned emulsifiers can also be used for the production of the starting rubber latices. The use of alkaline soaps as sodium or potassium salts from disproportionated and/or dehydrated and/or hydrated and/or partially hydrated gum rosin with a content of dehydroabietic acid of at least 30% by wt. and a content of abietic acid of maximally 1% by wt. is advantageous.
- Suitable molecular-weight regulators for the production of the starting rubber latices, in particular of the polybutadiene or styrene-butadiene latices include, for example, alkylmercaptans, such as n-dodecylmercaptan, tert-dodecylmercaptan, dimeric alpha-methylstyrene and terpinolene.
- In process II) inorganic and organic peroxides, e.g. hydrogen peroxide, di-tert-butylperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, dicyclohexylpercarbonate, tert-butylhydroperoxide, p-menthanehydroperoxide, azo initiators such as azobisisobutyronitrile, inorganic per-salts such as ammonium, sodium or potassium persulfate, potassium perphosphate, sodium perborate as well as redox systems can be taken into consideration as initiators of the emulsion polymerization of butadiene or a styrene-butadiene mixture. Redox systems generally consist of an organic oxidizing agent and a reducing agent, and additional heavy-metal ions can be present in the reaction medium (see Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, volume 14/1, pp. 263 - 297).
- With respect to the at least one alkalipersulfate initiator used in process I) it can be referred to specifically to the above alkalipersulfates and also those mentioned in
US2003/0139514 Thus in process I) in addition to the alkalipersulfate initiators other initiators can be used as mentioned inUS2003/0139514 including actinic radiation, azo initiators and organic peroxides which may be activated to form a redox system, and the initiators as mentioned herein before. Moreover, salts, acids and bases can be used in the emulsion polymerization for producing the starting rubber latices. With acids and bases the pH value, with salts the viscosity of the latices is adjusted during the emulsion polymerisation. Examples for acids include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid; examples for bases include sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution; examples for salts include chlorides, sulfates, phosphates as sodium or potassium salts. The preferred base is sodium hydroxide solution and the preferred salt is tetrasodium pyrophosphate. The pH value of the fine-particle rubber latices is between pH 7 and pH 13, preferably between 8 and pH 12, particularly preferably between pH 9 and pH 12. - With respect to the optionally used salts it can be referred to in addition to those mentioned in
US2003/0139514 , which include for example alkali salts such as alkali halides, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, pyrophosphates, preferably tetrasodium pyrophosphate, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride or potassium chloride. The amount of an optional salt may include 0 to 2, preferred 0 to 1 weight-percent relative to the latex solids. - Polymerization temperature in the preparation of the starting rubber latices is generally 25°C to 160°C, preferably 40°C to 90°C. Work can be carried out under the usual temperature control, e.g. isothermally. It is also possible to carry out polymerization in such a way that the temperature difference between the beginning and the end of the reaction is at least 2 °C, or at least 5°C, or at least 10°C starting with a lower temperature.
- It is possible to first provide all substances used, i.e. water, monomers, emulsifiers, molecular-weight regulators, initiators, bases, acids and salts at the beginning of polymerization. Furthermore, it is also possible to first provide only a part of the substances used at the beginning of the polymerization, and to first provide other substances used only partially, and to feed the remaining part during the polymerization. It has proved to be advantageous to first provide only a part of the monomers and molecular-weight regulators up to 35% and to feed the largest part. Furthermore, it has proved advantageous to first provide the emulsifiers for the most part at least 65% or completely and to feed the remainder. Furthermore, it has proved advantageous to first provide the initiators, bases, acids and salts for the most part at least 65% or completely and to feed the remainder. Furthermore, it has proved advantageous to first provide water for the most part at least 50% or completely and to feed the remainder.
- After the polymerization is finished the starting rubber latex can be cooled down to 50°C or lower and as far as the monomer conversion is not completed the not reacted monomers, e.g. butadiene can be removed by devolatilization at reduced pressure if necessary.
- The starting rubber latices obtained in accordance with step a) of the process I) of the invention preferably have a weight average particle diameter Dw which is equal to or less than 110 nm, more preferably equal to or less than 100 nm and still more preferably equal to or less than 90 nm, or less than 85 nm.
- The starting rubber latices obtained in accordance with step a) of the process II) of the invention preferably have a weight average particle diameter Dw of from 50 to less than 85 nm, preferably of from 55 to 84 nm, and particularly preferably of from 60 to 83 nm.
- Determination of the weight average particle diameter Dw can be carried out by a measurement with an ultracentrifuge (see W. Scholtan, H. Lange: Kolloid Z. u. Z. Polymere 250, pp. 782 to 796 (1972)) or a disc centrifuge DC 24000 by CPS Instruments Inc. at a rotational speed of the disc of 24,000 r.p.m.. The particle diameter can also be determined by static light scattering (see A. Schmidt in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1987, volume E20, pp. 238-248.) wherein with this method in opposite to the two first no information about the particles size distribution is obtained. For definition of the weight average particle size Dw see: G. Lagaly, O. Schulz, R. Ziemehl: Dispersionen und Emulsionen: eine Einführung in die Kolloidik feinferteilter Stoffe einschlieBlich der Tonminerale, Darmstadt: Steinkopf-Verlag 1997, ISBN 3-7985-1087-3, page 282, formula 8.3b. The definition of the weight average particle size diameter Dw according to this formula is the following:
- The summation is performed from the smallest to largest diameter of the particles size distribution. It should be mentioned that for a particles size distribution of particles with the same density which is the case for the starting rubber latices and agglomerated rubber latices the volume average particle size diameter Dv is equal to the weight average particle size diameter Dw.
- The gel content of the starting rubber latices is preferably 30 to 98% by wt., preferably 50 to 95% by wt. based on the water unsoluble solids of said latices. The values indicated for the gel content are based on the determination according to the wire cage method in toluene (see Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Makromolekulare Stoffe, part 1, page 307 (1961) Thieme Verlag Stuttgart). The gel contents of the starting rubber latices can be adjusted in a manner known in principle by applying suitable reaction conditions (e.g., high reaction temperature and/or polymerization up to high conversion as well as, optionally, addition of substances with a cross-linking effect for achieving a high gel content, or, e.g., low reaction temperature and/or termination of the polymerization reaction prior to the occurrence of a cross-linkage that is too comprehensive as well as, optionally, addition of molecular-weight regulators such as, for example n-dodecylmercaptan or tert-dodecylmercaptan for achieving a low gel content).
- The solid content of the starting rubber latices is preferably 25 to 55% by wt. (evaporation sample at 180°C for 25 min. in drying cabinet), more preferably 30 to 50% by wt., particularly preferably 35 to 45% by wt. The degree of conversion (calculated from the solid content of a sample and the mass of the substances used) of the monomers used in the emulsion polymerization preferably is larger than 50%, more preferably larger than 60%, particularly preferably larger than 70%, very particularly preferably larger than 80%, in each case based on the sum of monomers. Moreover, the degree of conversion of the monomers used is preferably lower than 99%, more preferably lower than 97%, particularly preferably lower than 96%, very particularly preferably lower than 95%, in each case based on the sum of monomers.
- The agglomerated rubber latices according to the invention are obtained by agglomerating the starting rubber latices described herein above, which are obtained by using resin acid based-emulsifiers.
- The weight average particle diameter Dw of the agglomerated rubber latices is preferably 150 to 2000 nm, preferably 170 to 1200 nm, particularly preferably 180 to 1000 nm, and very particularly preferably 190 to 900 nm.
- The solid content (evaporation sample at 180°C for 25 min. in drying cabinet) of the agglomerated rubber latices is preferably at least 15% by wt., more preferably at least 18% by wt., and particularly preferably at least 20% by wt. The solid content of the agglomerated rubber latices is preferably at most 50% by wt., more preferably at most 45% by wt., particularly preferably at most 40% by wt.
- Production of the agglomerated rubber latices according to the invention is preferably carried out by mixing the starting rubber latices with an acid, preferably with an acid anhydride and still more preferably acetic anhydride, and after agglomeration is complete, preferably restabilization with a base preferably potassium hydroxide solution is carried out.
- Preferably, acetic anhydride is used for agglomeration. However, other organic anhydrides can also be used. It is also possible to use mixtures of acetic anhydride with acetic acid or mixtures of organic anhydrides with acetic acid or other carboxylic acids.
- Once the agglomeration is complete, the agglomerated rubber latex is preferably restabilized with potassium hydroxide solution, so that the result is a pH value of preferably more than pH 7.5. Other alkaline solutions, such as, e.g., sodium hydroxide solution, can be used, albeit this is less preferred. The pH value of the agglomerated rubber latices is preferably larger than pH 7.5, more preferably larger than pH 8, particularly preferably larger than pH 8.5 and very particularly preferably larger than pH 8.8.
- In a preferred embodiment of the process of the invention first, the starting rubber latex is provided, wherein, in a preferred form, the solid content of the solid of this latex is adjusted to at most 50% by wt., more preferably at most 45% by wt, and particularly preferably at most 40% by wt. by the addition of water. The temperature of the starting rubber latex, optionally mixed with water, can be adjusted in a broad range of from 0°C to 70°C, preferably of from 10°C to 60°C, and particularly preferably of from 15°C to 50°C. Preferably at this temperature, a mixture of preferably acetic anhydride and water, which was prepared by mixing, is added to the starting rubber latex under good mixing. The addition of the acetic anhydride-water mixture and the mixing with the starting rubber latex should take place within a time span of two minutes at most in order to keep the coagulate formation as small as possible. In the process of the invention the coagulate formation cannot be avoided completely, but the amount of coagulate can be limited advantageously by this measure to significantly less than 1% by wt, generally to significantly less than 0.5% by wt based on the solids of the starting rubber latex used, which is thought to be a great advantage of the present invention.
- Preferably the mixing ratio of the acetic anhydride-water mixture used in the agglomeration step is 1:5 to 1:50 parts by mass, preferably 1:7.5 to 1:40, particularly preferably 1:10 to 1:30. When the acetic anhydride-water mixture is added, agglomeration of the fine-particle rubber particles within the starting rubber latex to form larger rubber particles starts and is finished after 5 to 60 minutes according to the adjusted temperature. The rubber latex is not stirred or mixed in this phase. The agglomeration, the increase in size of the rubber particles, comes to a standstill when the entire amount of acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed and the pH value of the rubber latex does not drop any further. For restabilization, again preferably potassium hydroxide solution is carefully added to the rubber latex and mixed with the rubber latex, so that a pH value of the rubber latex of at least pH 7.5 results. Coagulate which has possibly formed is removed from the agglomerated rubber latex in particular by filtering (e.g. a filter with a mesh width of 50 µm).
- Thus it is a preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention to carry out the agglomeration step b) by the addition of at least one acid, still more preferably by the addition of at least one acid anhydride. A particularly preferred acid anhydride is acetic acid anhydride, which is still more preferred used in admixture with water as described above.
- In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention the agglomeration step b) is carried out by the addition of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of acetic acid anhydride per 100 parts of the starting rubber latex solids. The starting rubber latex solids means here a solid content of preferably 25 to 55% by wt. (evaporation sample at 180°C for 25 min. in drying cabinet), more preferably 30 to 50% by wt., particularly preferably 35 to 45% by wt..
- In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention the content of abietic acid or salts thereof in the resin acid-based emulsifiers is less than 1 % by weight, more preferably less than 0.5 % by weight based on the total weight of the resin acid-based emulsifiers.
- The reason for this is as follows: The abietic acid or salts thereof inhibit or at least retard the polymerization of the starting rubber latex.
- Furthermore the content of fatty acids in the resin acid-based emulsifiers is less than 1 % by weight, more preferably less than 0.5 % by weight based on the total weight of the resin acid-based emulsifiers.
- The reason for this is as follows. Fatty acid emulsifiers have disadvantages in the grafting step for the production of graft rubber polymers because of the low critical micelle concentration (CMC) of fatty acid emulsifiers which allows the formation of new emulsifier micelles in which the grafting monomers could be polymerized instead of grafting onto the agglomerated rubber particles which is desired.
- In the most preferred embodiment in the process according to the invention, step a) is carried out in the presence of only resin acid-based emulsifiers as soaps, i.e. no other emulsifiers are used.
- In a further preferred embodiment in the process according to the invention the at least one starting rubber latex is obtained without using a seed latex.
- The reason for this is as follows. The starting rubber latex can be produced without the use of an additional seed latex. Usually the use of a seed latex could only be justified if a specific rubber particles size and distribution of the rubber particles size is otherwise not achieved. Furthermore any additional step like the use of a seed latex reduces the economical benefit of the process according to the invention.
- In a further preferred embodiment in the process according to the invention the starting rubber latex is obtained using an alkali persulfate initiator.
- The reason for this is as follows. It is known that alkali persulfate initiator is suitable for rubber latices and it turned out that it is also suitable for the polymerization of the starting rubber latices.
- In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention the agglomerated rubber latex has a pH value at 20 °C of at least 7.5, preferably at least 8.0, particularly preferably 8.5 and very particularly preferably 8.8.
- The reason for this is as follows. The rubber latex stability against shear stress is improved when the resin acid-based emulsifiers is neutralized, e.g. as potassium or sodium salt which is achieved with alkaline conditions.
- In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention the starting rubber latex has a solid content of 25 to 55 % by weight of the total weight of the starting rubber latex.
- The reason for this is as follows. Lower solids contents than 25 % by weight are less economical and solids contents higher than 55 % by weight result in a latex viscosity which is too high.
- In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention the agglomerated rubber latex has a solid content of 15 to 50 % by weight preferably 18 to 45 % by weight, particulary preferably 20 to 40 % by weight of the total weight of the agglomerated rubber latex.
- The reason for this is as follows. Lower solids contents are less economical and high solids contents result in a latex viscosity which is too high.
- In a further preferred embodiment in the process according to the invention at least one starting latex is obtained by emulsion polymerisation of butadiene or a mixture of butadiene and styrene. Also one or more monomers - different from styrene - copolymerizable with butadiene can be used as comonomers. Up to 50 % by wt. (based on the total amount of monomers used for the production of polybutadiene polymers) of one or more monomers that are copolymerizable with butadiene can be used as comonomers. Examples for such monomers include isoprene, chloroprene, acrylonitrile, styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, C1-C4-alkylstyrenes, C1-C8-alkylacrylates, C1-C8-alkylmethacrylates, alkyleneglycol diacrylates, alkylenglycol dimethacrylates, divinylbenzol; preferably, butadiene is used alone or mixed with up to 20% by wt., preferably 15% by wt. styrene and/or acrylonitrile.
- In a further preferred embodiment the process according to the invention comprises the step of adding at least one base after the agglomeration step b).
- The preferred base to be used in such step is potassium hydroxide solution.
- In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention the amount of coagulate formed during the agglomeration step is less than 1 % by weight, preferably less than 0.5 % by weight of the total weight of the starting rubber latex solids.
- In accordance with the present invention there is thus further provided an agglomerated rubber latex that is obtainable by the process according to the invention.
- In accordance with the present invention there is thus further provided the use of the agglomerated rubber latices according to the invention for the production of graft rubber polymers and also a process for producing graft rubber polymers comprising the polymerization of the at least one unsaturated monomer in the presence of the agglomerated rubber latices according to the invention. In accordance with the present invention there are further provided graft rubber polymers that are obtainable from such process of claim, and that comprise the agglomerated rubber particles obtained from the agglomerated rubber latices according to the invention.
- The present invention furthermore provides the use of the graft rubber polymers obtainable according to the invention for the manufacture of thermoplastic molding compositions, in particular, for the manufacture of ABS and/or blends of ABS with at least one thermoplastic polymer, which is preferably selected from polyamide, polycarbonate, polyester etc.. Thus the present invention furthermore provides thermoplastic polymer composition, comprising the graft rubber polymers obtainable according to the invention and at least one thermoplastic polymer, which again is selected preferably from rubber-free copolymers, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyester etc..
- The preparation of the graft rubber polymers obtainable according to the invention (sometimes also called graft rubber polymer I)) may be carried out, as desired, by grafting of the agglomerated rubber latex or by the common grafting of a mixture of the agglomerated rubber latices during one reaction.

- In the grafting step as emulsifier there may be used conventional anionic emulsifiers such as alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, aralkyl sulfonates, soaps of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids as well as above mentioned resin acid-based emulsifiers or tall resin emulsifiers. It is also possible in principle to use emulsifiers having carboxyl groups (e.g. salts of C10-C18 fatty acids, emulsifiers according to
DE-A 36 39 904 andDE-A 39 13 509 ). Resin acid-based emulsifiers or tall resin emulsifier are used preferably. - The polymerization temperature is generally from 25°C to 160°C, preferably from 40°C to 90°C. The operation may be carried out with conventional temperature management, for example isothermally; however, the graft polymerization is preferably carried out in such a manner that the temperature difference between the beginning and the end of the reaction is at least 10°C, preferably at least 15°C and particularly preferably at least 20°C, starting at lower temperatures.
- In order to produce the graft rubber polymers according to the invention, the graft polymerization may preferably be carried out by feeding in the monomers in such a manner that from 55 to 90 wt. %, preferably from 60 to 80 wt. % and particularly preferably from 65 to 75 wt. %, of the total monomers to be used in the graft polymerization are metered in in the first half of the total monomer metering time; the remaining amount of monomers is metered in in the second half of the total monomer metering time.
